DON'T BOX THE EARS.

+ Boxing the ears is a too common
form of punishment practiced by
irritable and ignorant persons, and
1t is almost always done in fits of
sudden anger. | say done by irrit-
able and ignorant persons, because
it seems to me that no person of
any information on the subject
would allow his passion to get the
better of his. judgment in such q
matter. The drum of the ear is of
paper-likc thinness; it may and has
been, in numbers of cases, ruptured
by a single slap on the side of the
head, incurable deafness resulting.
Says an eminent physician: "All
strokes on the head of children
with an angry hand are brutal and
criminal" In the same connection
he adds that "a generous, wise and
humane parent should allow
night to intervene between the COM
mission Of the fault on the part of
the child and any decided punish
ment. The veriest thief should be
allowed time, lest the law should
be vindictivc and wrathful. And |
shall man or woman. punish an
unresisting child with angry incon-
sideration, with unreasoning wrath
in the heart?-Toronto Truth.

GROANING.

A French physician contends
that grooming and crying are two
grand operations by which those
patients who give way to their nat
ural feelings more speedily recover
from accidents and operations than
those who suppose it unworthy in a
man to betray such symptoms Of
cowardice as either to groan or to
cry. He tells of a man who reduced
his pulse from 126 to 60 in the
course of few hours by giving fall
vent to his emotion. If people are
at all unhappy about any thing,
let them 60 their rooms and COM
fort themselves with a loud boo
hoo, and they will feel one hundred
per cent better afterwards. In ac-
cordance with this the crying of
children should not be too greatly
discouraged. What is natural is
nearly always useful, and what
can be more natural than the cry
ing of children when anything oc-
ours to give them physical or men
.al pain.

"June %, 1912, was the hottest

Wentworth. 81 was living on a
farm then-the Cooley farm, near
where Kinsley's restaurant now
stands. 1t was so hot that we had
to hang the thermometer in the
well and keep tanning it to prevent
it from bursting"
''On Augusta, 1896" said Amos
: Tucker, Eve caught blazer. Along

yard to see how the stock was get

hogs just ready for the market.
